She's pulling your chain, LOL!

You have to look in the floor wax aisle to find that.

I'm not sure, but I think the modern store-bought chicory is blended with a little bit of actual coffee.

(running over to the computer now to google chicory)

Oh, right, I'm already here, so it'll save me a few steps!

Found this:

COFFEE PARTNER Ground Chicory

and this:

Is Chicory Coffee Any Good Or Just a Way to Stretch Coffee Serious Eats

So in the case of that one offering, yes, it is a blend of chicory and coffee. To taste something like "coffee", I presume.

^Yeah, THAT is the "world famous" New Orleans stuff. At least it's cheaper than Kopi Luwak coffee...or THIS STUFF, which I didn't know existed. I wish I still didn't know.

Well, here I am drinking a regular coffee from the coffee shop, made from beans that hadn't seen the inside of any mammal. Sometimes it's so hard to keep up with trends.

I'm having that coffee with a piece of brownie from a modified mix. In addition to replacing the water with coffee and adding some vanilla, this time I added a dash of brandy - worked out well.

That elephant story is hilarious!

".. there's no bitterness; and it's very soft, like tea. So it's kind of like a cross between coffee and tea."

So for us tea-drinkers, there is hope that we can finally get back to the good stuff.

Good thing, too.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. I'd love a cup of Crappacino. Brandy works well with coffee.

My first loaf of bread. (iPhone image)

you should shoot with your iphone. That is better than a lot of your camera pics.

It looks great, Gary!

Remember; toasted and buttered!

I thought all coffee tasted like that stuff before they pulled the bean out ..

Actually, it might. I can't really argue the point, because...I've never actually TRIED that stuff. :biglaugh:

Although, I suspect *somebody* has tried it, most likely an adolescent male...so I'm guessing we'd have hear about it by now if poop were actually tasty.
